Looking Glass Animal Rescue A virtual award-winning 501c3 nonprofit animal welfare organization working towards the day when no

Looking Glass Animal Rescue (“LGAR”) is an award-winning nonprofit volunteer-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing dogs from high-kill shelters, hoarding situations, puppy mills, animal fighting rings and more. While we welcome all animals in need, we specifically focus on animals that are often overlooked due to age, breed, special need or an illness or injury requiring immediat

e, often costly medical attention that shelters are unable to provide. Without a rescue outlet, these animals would otherwise be euthanized due to their issues. Hundreds of animals are euthanized every year due to overpopulation, irresponsibility and sadly, cost. This is particularly true with animals who suffer medical ailments, many of which are treatable yet they are often deemed “unadoptable” and withheld from public view. These animals in particular suffer the worst fate because they sit in pain and fear with no hope of ever being given a second chance at life. Because of this, we have developed a special focus within our rescue to save as many of these animals that we can. Veterinary expenses alone can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the severity of the condition which is often unknown at the time of pull. Yet, in spite of these costs, our mission for every animal we pull into our rescue is to provide the most advanced medical and pain management treatments possible in an effort to ensure the best possible outcomes for these previously neglected and broken animals. In addition to treating their acute medical needs, every dog rescued will be spayed/neutered, if they are not already, and vaccinated and microchipped as soon as possible in an effort to give them the best opportunity for a healthy, happy life. When people do decide to foster an animal or adopt from us, they should expect the animal will remain well and not pass disease to their resident pets. Lastly, for each animal that we place, we provide extensive education on how to transition the animal into their new life. Basics like crate training, housetraining, obedience training, and the best ways to introduce resident pets are integral for the success of the relationship. When necessary we will also engage professional trainers for those animals that need specific behavior modification in an effort to help our animals and their new family position themselves for success. Mental health is as important as physical health and we believe that every animal should be given the chance to lead a life free of fear and anxiety. Like psychologists, professional trainers are often the only ones equipped to transition an abused animal from the life that once "was" to the life that "could be". Our goal is to ensure that all of our animals become a cherished and welcomed member of their new family for the remainder of their lives. By working with a network of volunteer advocates, foster caregivers, local veterinarians, trainers and shelters LGAR is hoping to be able to rescue hundreds of animals every year. We also serve as a resource to our community by providing information on pet ownership, including resources for spay/neuter, positive behavior training, nutrition and veterinary care. We believe that no animal should be mistreated and are working towards the day when no companion animal is euthanized for lack of a home.

Little Miss Bunny is patiently waiting for just the right family to pick her! She would love a home with children - she loves kids! She’d love a home with another dog who might want to pal around and play. She’d love a home with just the right balance of busy vs. couch potato, enjoys snuggles but she also has an independent streak. She’ll bring joy and laughter to wherever she goes. Miss Bunny is small, crate trained, housebroken, and up to date on all her vaccinations. Just waiting for the right family to come along - might that be you?

Buttercup is still hoping her fur-ever family is out there looking for her! Having traveled all the way from Afghanistan in search of a home, Buttercup thinks she struck gold with her foster family, but would really love a home and family to call her own. Buttercup is now acclimated to life indoors, a full belly, a warm bed, and the gentle loving touch every dog deserves from their family. Buttercup is living with another dog and is happy although we don’t know how she’ll do with cats. According to her vet, she’s a sweet, gentle girl - just hoping for the chance to share unconditional love and joy with a family of her own. We believe Buttercup will do well in just about any family environment, and maybe just in time for the holidays?!

Once again we have a sibling left behind! And a doodle mix which is even more surprising! Check out Oscar…

Oscar arrives in the northeast December 21. Oscar was rescued together with his brothers from a shelter in rural Louisiana. Both his brothers have found their furever homes and now it’s his turn. This guy is handsome, affectionate, playful, and full of life! He’s gentle enough for a family environment and fun loving enough to be your hiking buddy. We really believe Oscar will do well in just about any home environment. Oscar is still a puppy requiring puppy training and time to acclimate, but he’ll repay your efforts with a lifetime of love!

It’s very hard to hear and see the cruelty we see all the time. But with the help of our fosters and donations from our “pack” we can continue the work we do and change the lives of dogs like this….

Meet Luna! This little girl has been through a lot but has come out the other side - and she's an absolute doll! Luna was found abandoned with an injury to her eye due to a BB lodged nearby. She was immediately cared for, the BB removed surgically, and now, though blind in her right eye, nothing slows her down! She was timid when she first came to us, but now she is much more outgoing, extremely playful with the other dogs in the home - both large and small, extremely affectionate with the children in the home, has good indoor manners - house broken, crate trained - though she'd prefer a bed at the foot of yours instead! Luna's favorite pass-time is sneaking off to her bed with toys, slippers, socks -just her way of having her people closer. She's truly a wonderful girl at just two years of age, and smaller than your usual lab mix at 38-40 pounds.

Luna’s life has been forever changed through rescue. Let’s finish the job and find her a home! And please consider continued support so we can keep making a difference in the lives of those who are abused and forgotten.

🙏🙏🤷‍♀️If you read nothing else, please read this: this is what rescue truly embodies. Most importantly, I have the privilege of working alongside an incredible team every day. These women are the very definition of angels and saviors on this earth. Their passion and compassion are beyond measure.

They don’t seek praise or recognition; this is simply what they do day in and day out. They find comfort in the small victories and tirelessly advocate for the animals in need. Each day, I wake up concerned about how we’ll keep going, as our finances are dwindling far beyond what we can fundraise, and donations are scarce. Yet, my team continues to take on more animals in desperate situations, doing everything in their power to ensure they receive the care they need.

As an animal rescuer, I’ve witnessed some truly horrific situations that have left a profound impact on my soul. It’s the dedication of these women that keeps me going, even when times are tough. We often find ourselves robbing Peter to pay Paul, and I sometimes deplete my personal savings, affecting my family, just to help dogs like Darla. We seek help, and while it doesn’t always come, I press on because of this remarkable team. I’m not exaggerating when I say that they literally will forgo food for themselves in order to give these animals more than we could ever provide.

And when I say "this team," I mean Elizabeth, Bobby, Allaina, Nicki, Diane, Beth, Stephanie, Lacy, Cody, Diana, Karina, and Amy. Thank you for being the heart of this rescue. ❤️💕🙏

Darla was found abandoned, covered in bleeding sores, malnourished, and infested with mange all over her body. She had been so overbred that her va**na nearly touched the ground. In the backyard of the house where she was found, there was another puppy in a cramped cage, left to die. Both were abandoned by an owner who fled the county without any regard for their well-being.

If not for the alert that brought their plight to our attention, these dogs would have faced a horrific, agonizing death, and no one would have known. They embody desperate hope. Yet, despite having more than 15,000 followers, we raised only $200 for their care.

But these incredible women continue to persevere, and because of them, I do too.

Sibling rivalry - it’s a thing!! Help us out if you can!

Phoebe and Mary Ann, beautiful puppies from two separate litters, are both the last of the bunch to be chosen for forever homes and they just don’t understand why! Nor do we actually - they are just as perfect as their recently adopted brothers and sisters…

Phoebe (left), a beautiful lab and pittie mix, 5-6 months old, 20 lbs, happy go lucky, affectionate, extremely playful with all the other dogs and loves her people.

Mary Ann (right), an adorable husky and lab mix, 12 weeks old, 21 lbs, loving, affectionate, playful, good with all, eager to learn and please.

Both are up to date on medical care and ready to travel! For more information, www.lgarinc.org.

🐾 Meet Rusty! 🐾

Yesterday, we received a call about this sweet little terrier who was found lying on train tracks in terrible condition. He was skinny, matted, and dirty, clearly abandoned and poorly taken care of. Thankfully, we picked him up and he’s now comfortably resting with his new foster mama, where he’ll soon be off to the vet for a thorough check-up.

While there don't seem to be any significant health issues or injuries , it’s heartbreaking to see what he’s been through. We’re committed to getting him all fixed up and ready for his forever home.

We’re so grateful for the support we’ve received and for everyone who alerted us to Rusty’s plight. If you’re able to help us cover his vetting costs, we would greatly appreciate any donations. Together, we can give Rusty the second chance he deserves! ❤️

Today is Giving Tuesday, and we are reaching out for your support to ensure our mission continues into 2025. As the economic climate challenges us, the need for our services has never been greater. Many animals are suffering in shelters, facing dire conditions. Nova and Simba are just two examples of lives that have been transformed through your generosity. We must do more to support these vulnerable animals and prevent unnecessary euthanasia. Together, we can make a difference. Please consider donating or sharing our campaign.

🌟 **It's Giving Tuesday! Let's Make a Difference Together!** 🌟

Today marks the official kickoff to the giving season, and there's no better time to support LGAR and the countless animals in need. Your generosity can truly change lives!

Did you know that our average adoption fee is around $375, while our average expenses per dog exceed $800? This gap makes it crucial for us to rally together and provide the care these animals desperately need while they wait for their forever homes.

Every donation, big or small, helps us give these deserving pups the medical treatment, love, and shelter they crave. Your support today can help us save more lives and ensure that no animal has to languish in a shelter.

Join us in making a meaningful impact this Giving Tuesday! Together, we can create a brighter future for our furry friends. ❤️🐾

How can it be that Miss Bunny is still looking for a home?? Small, playful, affectionate, good with dogs and loves children - she’s the whole package!

This precious girl with her adorable little face and slight underbite was found surviving on her own on a military training base. We believe she's been part of a family for at least a short time in her life based on her love of people and her awesome behavior. Miss Bunny is now with a favorite foster family of ours in Louisiana and thriving! She loves people, especially children of all ages, and is extremely affectionate with those she meets. Miss Bunny loves the other dogs in the home, both large and small, so much so that we believe she will do best in a home with children and dogs to pal around and play with. Though playful, she also makes time to be a couch potato when the mood strikes! She's an all around easy going, laid back girl but has a playful streak! Unfortunately, she has not yet met cats yet so we can't say how she would react. Miss Bunny is crate trained and house trained (she does still need to be watched when outside so she takes care of business rather than getting sidetracked by all the fun people and dogs). Of course, as a young dog, just over one year of age, Miss Bunny will need all the necessary training to become the best adult dog she can be. She will also need time to adjust to her new home and environment and get to know any fur siblings she may acquire through adoption.

Sounds perfect, doesn’t she?! ❤️ For more information, www.lgarinc.org

Meet Bo and Duke! Dashing young puppies still hoping for forever homes and families! Abandoned when very young, rescued and cared for by a wonderful foster, brought up to date on their veterinary care, and now just under a year of age, these two handsome boys are still waiting to find love. Both are typical puppies, playful, outgoing, friendly, and affectionate. Both have met other dogs and done well however have not had the opportunity to meet cats yet. Given the chance, both will do well in any sort of family environment. As with all new puppies, Bo and Duke will need proper training to become the best adult dogs they can be along with time to decompress and acclimate to their new homes. If your looking for a companion to share you life with, look no further! To learn more about each, www.lgarinc.org
